When the list of nominees for the Golden Rooster Award was announced, the film "Hoa Hoang Duong" was completely absent from any category. This information is not surprising to experts, because the work is unlikely to meet the strict artistic criteria of a leading Chinese film and television award.
According to Associate Professor Ta Le Le (China People's Public Security University, majoring in Criminal Psychology), the film "Hoa Ngoai Duong" is "a failure in character development". She said that the script still has many loopholes, the characters lack depth, while the way of expression is heavy and model.
This frank review also mentioned the film's "inflating of advertising tricks, turning women's pain into marketing tools, creating a sense of artificial feminism and lack of empathy". On the scale of ten, Associate Professor Ta Le Le only gave the film 3 points.
For Zhao Liying, the fact that the film "Hoa Ngoai Duong" was not nominated also raises many questions about her acting direction. The actress was once considered a typical face of Chinese television series with many successful roles. However, this project shows limitations in choosing scripts, as well as the way of exploiting characters is not new enough to conquer audiences and experts.
In fact, Zhao Liying's career has always been associated with great expectations from the public. After a period of success with historical films, the shift to modern, psychological - social films still leaves many mixed opinions. Observers believe that, instead of relying only on personal attraction and coverage, Zhao Liying needs a breakthrough in choosing a script and acting style to affirm her position in prestigious awards.
Ab missing from this Golden Rooster Awards, the film "Hoa Hoang Duong" is considered an important reminder about the line between commercial success and artistic value, and has opened up many controversies about Zhao Liying's next direction.
